Team building 2021: Successful First Post Lock-down Outing

Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th of September, we had a Team building 2021 session for the first time since the outbreak of COVID-19. It has been almost 2 years since the last team activity. In the mean time, we organized many fun activities and masterclasses, but all online. Now, we finally met each other physically at Landgoed Avegoor in Gelderland, the Netherlands. We specifically chose an environment in the middle of nature to clear our heads and have good conditions for our brainstorming sessions.

After the “out-of-the-box” brainstorm sessions in the morning, it was time to have some fun. To keep all our 45 colleagues from France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Turkey, Belgium, Hungary, the Netherlands, and Ukraine in one place, we concentrated the entertainment activities on the property of Landgoed Avegoor. Starting with skeet shooting, followed by a dinner and pub quiz, the Friday came to an end quickly. On Saturday after breakfast, we traveled to Dieren for the entertainment part, which consisted out of Segway driving, ax throwing, archery, and curling.

To conclude, everyone had fun and we all enjoyed seeing each other again. Check out the Teambuilding 2021 aftermovie below:

What’s next?

In the future, we will have more outings organized. Starting with Halloween on Friday the 29th of October. The scariest Friday drinks at 18:00 (6 pm) in the Icecat Amsterdam office. The dress code is bloody, so be creative with your costume. Furthermore, around Christmas, we will have a get-together as well. Finally, to start the new year 2022 in the right direction we will have a kick-off meeting. Details of these events will be determined later.
